Television is gr8. Probably would have voted the Fall, if it had been in the poll, although it would have been a difficult choice between them and the Cure.

Kinda surprised to see Joy Division without a single vote. I love em but thought it was a bit too obvious.

Actually, in the long line of errors with this poll I also have just remembered that, for some unknown reason, Talking Heads are on PA. I would take them off* and replace them with Television (even though I prefer The Fall) but I will leave as is. Especially as someone has voted for TH already.
*I don't mean off PA.

The Cure, followed by Devo.
Bauhaus and Joy Division are decent. Don't know the rest (other than the names).

The band I'm most surprised to not see here is The Fall, with Wire a close second.

music beyond what can be accurately categorized as belonging to the
genre.

The above description of post-punk is very apt in the Fall's case as they kinda developed 'in parallel' to Punk having started around 1976 (when we were still gobbing on those we had paid good money to be target practice - go figure spiky tops ) Although I really enjoyed Wire's Chairs Missing, and would acknowledge how influential they turned out to be, much of their output smacked of art school situationists exploiting minimalism/punk as a vehicle for another highbrow agenda. Crass were guilty of same in my book. But then I'm a cynical old f*rt

I didn't vote so. Of course (well almost of course) I have gone for Siouxsie and the Banshees. I am tempted by the Cocteaus and Sisters. But, lets face it, the Banshees were one of the best bands ever to have existed.
I would have liked the original line up (not the Sid Vicious et al version, but the Scream version) to have done a couple more albums as well - maybe at the same time as Kaleidoscope and JuJu - in my own little fantasy world but hey, what we got was incredible stuff.

Really! You lucky B! I didn't get to see them until 1985 when John Valentine Carruthers was guitarist and I was well pissed that McGeoch had left and that Mr Smith wasn't back again! Ah well, they were still better than most even then. McKay is a much underrated guitarist me thinks. I'm sure technically he's not anything, but just listen to that noise...

On ability I think he's rated pretty much where he should be but he deserves credit for more or less defining post punk guitar with Switch.

You there Sonia  I am not sure punk killed prog, prog and jazz/fusion died by themselves because they were beginning to bore people. Punk and prog can coexist: Cardiacs, Nomeansno, The Mars Volta, many mathcore bands... Regarding the poll, I don't know. Maybe UK decay? but they are not on the list...

I loved Jeopardy and it would easily be in my top-25 postypunk albums, but Lion's Mouth not so much.
But as our friend with the Berk avatar says, there could be any of a million bands.

Correct me if I am wrong, many of these had a goth character (not sure this is the right way to put it).
Certainly I recall Sisters, Cure and Japan, less so Bauhaus. There were a few Sister tracks playing on a constant basis in the rock clubs where I used to hang out but metal got the best of me so I have to say I have no albums of the above bands in my possession.
Any of them you would definitely recommend?

Lucas wow yay hello!!! 
I tend to focus more on instrumentals and to me punk has nothing to offer in terms of what I enjoy to listen :( sounds more like kazim gazim plunk te te te tem tewm, no tunes nothing except more lyrical motivated content with bad singers and awful instrumentals. I might be wrong considering I do not know much about music lol however without great instrumentals I tend to not feel nor like the music. huge hug you
